Poll: Many Americans concerned about FDA process for Alzheimer's drug

A new survey from STAT and the Harris Poll finds that two-thirds of those familiar with Biogen's Alzheimer's drug Aduhelm believe it will be effective. This number dropped to about half among those who had only heard of the approval but were not as informed on the details behind the drug. The survey, which queried more than 2,100 U.S. adults between June 11 and June 13, also found that people were divided over the price of the drug (estimated to be $56,000 a year before insurance or other discounts) and that respondents were concern about the regulatory process behind the drug's approval, since the FDA granted Aduhelm an "accelerated approval" based on surrogate endpoints. The findings highlight the ongoing controversy over the approval of Aduhelm, especially as physicians and payers now weigh how to work with the drug. Read more here.

Are the “about half” of people who think the drug’s effective the same ones who swear their car goes faster after it’s been washed and waxed?

im still trying to prove it is true. There has to be something in Simonize that makes my company buggy slide like glide lube through the air.

You do realize that as a rep of a product you can be sued over junk science as well as your actions to promote it and that the company does not cover you on all of those points. I hope you all know how to hire lawyers when the promotion of this product goes downhill. You will be on your own. It will be a sad day for all….when you don’t HELP but HURT patients. How are your running from lawyer skills?

Many, many ADU employees are planning their exits. Certainly people can judge employees by saying you should have known better before taking the job, but the simple fact is that you don't usually find all the bad things till it is too late.

No one feels good about promoting this after taking a deep dive into the data. Things they never released until recently. I cannot morally promote this, but need a paycheck for my kids. The exit will be as swift as I can do it.

Someone needs to notify Public Citizen and other media outlets that D admitted on a national call they KNEW the drug was being approved May 2nd. She publicly announced that to everyone. Why is this important? Hmmm for starters who possibly connected purchased large amounts of stock. Friends of Friends possibly? This needs to be investigated and people need to know.

The drug should be pulled. At least until there is better date minimally.

This is a shit show. At least 90% of all media out there regarding this drug is extremely negative. This is unprecedented and people have lost trust in the FDA.

And yet he laughs above. Thanks for showing the world how classless you are. I'm certain you are a miserable person and assured Karma will bite you in the ass for being such an ass. The world needs no one like you. I don't have to wish you a bad life because you already have one. Yes, you know you do.

& so what’s your point? Biogen just pulled off the biggest theft in American history with the FDA’s help! Sounds a little bit like the scam teachings critical race theory…both are a damn joke
